October 25th was my 31st birthday. I usually dread my birthdays because I just end up missing my twin sister so much. But this year Alan and I planned ahead to make it a good day. He took the day off and we had lots of fun together. After taking the kids to school, we headed to Lazy Jane's for breakfast. They have an amazing BLT with roasted red peppers and the best lemon scones in the world. Yummy. After breakfast, I took a nap with Noah--Big treat as I'm usually too busy to even think about laying down when he sleeps. We arranged for Alan's mom to pick up the kids from school so that we could go to a movie. Noah was very well-behaved at the movie and we splurged on popcorn. Loved Footloose, by the way. We picked up a carrot cake for dessert from the bakery and then watched the old Footloose on DVD after the kids went to bed. It was a splendid day--I think I'll ask Alan to take all of my birthdays off!
Happy Birthday, Em!!! Yeah, that sounds like pretty much the perfect day...any day where you get to enjoy an *entire* movie and a nap is a huge success in my book! (c: The family pictures turned out so adorable! You are inspiring me to get my rear in gear and actually do them this year (c:
